It’s hackweek at Suse! Probably one of my favourite times of year, though I think they come up every 9 months or so. Anyway, this hackweek I’ve been on a WireGuard journey. I started reading the paper and all the docs. Briefly looking into the code, sitting in the IRC…
Welcome to the final post in the series, it has been a long time coming. If required/requested I’m happy to delve into any of these topics deeper, but I’ll attempt to explain the situation, the best approach to take and how I got a POC working, which I am calling…

As a Swift developer, most of the development works in a Swift All In One (SAIO) environment. This environment simulates a mulinode swift cluster on one box. All the SAIO documentation points to using tempauth for authentication. Why? Because most the time authentication isn’t the things we are working on.…
As an OpenStack Swift dev I obviously write a lot of Python. Further Swift is cluster and so it has a bunch of moving pieces. So debugging is very important. Most the time I use pudb and then jump into the PyCharms debugger if get really stuck. Pudb is curses based…
The latest POC is at the benchmarking stage, and in the most part it’s going well. I have set up 2 clusters in the cloud, not huge, but 2 proxies and 4 storage nodes each. A benchmarking run involves pointing an ssbench master at each cluster and putting each cluster…
Squid is one of the biggest and most used proxies on the interwebs. And generating reports from the access logs is already a done deal, there are many commercial and OSS apps that support the squid log format. But I found my self in a situation where I wanted stats…
